    It is not clean. The servers are not nice and clean either. The restroom opens into the kitchen which is not hygienic. The food is okay but it is definitely not worth waiting for the line. 👎🏻

    The tomato soup is ethereal. Get the pulled pork sandwich... It's a sleeper on a deep menu. Trust me!

    The Gastro Gypsy can be made vegan. Use avocado in the place of the chevre. It's good!

    Arrived and waited at door but no one greeted us so we sat down at one of the many empty tables and waited. Finally server came and said in a rude an unapologetic way that the place was fully booked.
